Browse All TopicsI use RDP to manage multiple Server 2003 machines for clients. In XP, I would use MSTSC /CONSOLE to access the current session rather than creating a new session. Some of the programs used are not able to run as a service so I need to connect to the active session. I am able to login through the RDP client in Kubuntu 6.06, but as a separate session. I was unable to find a linux equivalent to the /console switch. Does anyone know of one?
Thanks,
Traigo.

will attach to the console session. I'm pretty sure one can set that in the TS connection file too.
Unfortunately the TS GUI client isn't aware of that flag, it seems. Report it as a bug, or use the commandline tool it "wraps up";-).
